D-asparagine acid

D-asparaginezuur (DAA) supplements

Asparaginezuur is an amino acid that exists in two mirror-image forms: L-asparaginezuur and D-asparaginezuur. The L-form is a building block of proteins and is found in abundance in high-protein foods. The D-form occurs naturally in the body in smaller quantities. D-asparaginezuur is primarily used as a supplement by strength athletes.

In our range you will find D-Asparaginezuur from German Elite Nutrition in a bottle of 300 capsules. Each capsule contains 1150 mg of D-asparaginezuur; the daily serving of three capsules provides 3450 mg. No other active substances have been added.

What is D-asparaginezuur?

D-asparaginezuur is the D-form of the amino acid asparaginezuur, known in English as D-aspartic acid. Amino acids often exist in an L- and a D-form, which are mirror images of each other, comparable to a left and a right hand. The two forms have the same building blocks, but a different spatial structure. As a result, they behave differently in the body. D-asparaginezuur is therefore not the same as the asparaginezuur you obtain through high-protein foods.

L-asparaginezuur and D-asparaginezuur

L-asparaginezuur is a non-essential amino acid: the body produces it itself and it is found in virtually all high-protein foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts. D-asparaginezuur occurs in much smaller quantities. A label usually clearly states which form is in a product. Pay attention to this when comparing, because a supplement with L-asparaginezuur is a different product than a supplement with D-asparaginezuur.

D-Asparaginezuur from German Elite Nutrition

German Elite Nutrition is a German sports nutrition brand. Their D-Asparaginezuur is a pure product: the capsules contain only D-asparaginezuur and the capsule shell. Each capsule contains 1150 mg, and the recommended daily serving of three capsules provides 3450 mg. A bottle contains 300 capsules, enough for 100 daily servings. Because no other active substances have been added, you know exactly what you are taking.

Capsules or powder?

D-asparaginezuur is available as a powder and in capsules. Powder allows you to weigh out the amount yourself, but has a slightly sour taste. Capsules are tasteless, easy to take with you, and pre-dosed. In our collection we offer D-asparaginezuur in capsule form, so that you always receive the same amount per intake.

How do you use D-asparaginezuur?

Follow the directions for use on the packaging. For the product from German Elite Nutrition, this is three capsules per day, with a glass of water. You can take the capsules all at once or spread them throughout the day. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. A supplement is an addition to a varied diet and does not replace it.

Pure DAA or a combination formula?

D-asparaginezuur is offered separately and sometimes in combination formulas with, for example, zinc, magnesium, or vitamin B6. A pure product gives you the freedom to decide for yourself which other supplements you may combine. With a combination formula, you can see the amount of each substance per serving on the label. Make sure that you do not obtain the same nutrient above the recommended amount from multiple products at the same time.

What should you pay attention to?

D-asparaginezuur is intended for adults. It is not recommended for young people under the age of 18 or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you use medication or have a medical condition, consult your doctor or pharmacist first. Store the product in a dry, cool place and out of reach of children. Athletes who are subject to doping controls should check the status of supplements themselves.
